Just to be clear, considering what Kat posts, looks like they haven't even started working on new race, and even if they jump on it right now, it will be done maybe in 6 months with most optimistic ETA to take account all the systems they have to design and tweak, so just buckle up for a looooong wait.

They alone will play this game ..... 3 races in the third game of Dawn of War when the people only expect races, and do how the old games release a race after bilions of years when no one will play this game. GG RELIC IF U WANT SEE THIS GAME WITH A BETTER FUTURE THAN THE OTHERS. Ask yourself why this game no have players? why? a Dawn of War without the only thing do a Dawn of War a diferent game than Starcraft or others game? " What it's wrong? WHAT WE DO BAD?? Ooo why this game don't purchase any one? MAYBE BECAUSE WE SKIP THE MOST IMPORTANT THING???!!!" (sorry for this hate but i can't imagine the new Dawn Of war game with only 3 races, it's a joke)

That's sads me, that there won't be probably new race for now or even ever, but oh well. But I understand how much work it takes. Still it looks like Relic also would like to add new race, but right now they seems to be focused at other feedback. In the meantime we should be happy with what we have.

I think it is more important to make the current player will not be bored before to please all players, but hey, now we will have tartaros (insert meme)

Adding a race is a huge task, and requires more then just the art team, especially in a modern title, that also require their own balancing, and need to stick to lore, else players will flip (get it) out.

Consider that a lot of the faction in dow1 were very similar to the point of using the same buildings re-skinned (sm, chaos) and some of the final factions were not very thought out well (my personal favourite is the dark eldar who get a button to instantly morale kill ig with a resource you can generate for almost free in your base, neat right?)

All the while, players will be crying for balance, game-modes, better casting potential, something else. hopefully instead relic can polish out what they have so far and then work in a new faction into a better game, instead of it becoming a bit of a mess.

Also worth mentioning DOW3 is not the only game to release with only 3 factions, see cnc 3, supcom, supcom 2, universe at war, etc.

Maybe if you purchase the game, they would have just enough for marketing so then they can publish the expansion.

Nice, but single purchase is not enough. Relic has sell it to enough people, though I doubt that. Still I guess that it was sold enough for a single expansion, but Relic seems to be focused on other feedback at the moment.

Mmmm probably you have reason. I can understand we need to wait more but, @Kat_RE we can expect for the following months? Sincerely with new elites the wait would become much more enjoyable. You have thousands for introduces (Sm: landraider, sigismund,legion of damned, eldar: harlequins, fire dragons [or introduces new line units how fire dragons), etc) only skins can't create new playstyle or builds

Please no " balance " patch before the bellum. Each faction want more advantages than others and proposes its own changes to balance making them weaker than it should be.

I'm pretty sure balance patch won't arrive at the time bellum starts, but I think it's rather bad thing. If we had balance patch before tournie, new metas wouldn't be fully explored yet and matches between races would be more unpredictable and exciting. Currently metas are pretty much set in stone, and I bet at finals we'll just see Ork vs. Ork. I honestly don't see the point in competition without balance patch here...

Pal, I think all factions are playable and competitive now.

Lascannons need a nerf.

their op-ness only comes from the limited armor/accuracy mechanics

No.

Yes

No lol.

Limited Armor types has absolutly nothing to do with it.

Its the charges and the fact that Las devs dont lose it when switching targets.

SC 2 had the exact same issues with the void ray (yes relic directly ripped off from the void ray)

Voidrays where supposed to be the anti big stuff and siege unit but became anti everything once charged up and spammed. It would melt everything in seconds.

Remove charges and make the las cannon work like it does in fluff or town down charges and las dev will be fixed...

Las devs are fine. They do not need a nerf. All other factuons have powerfull antivehicle. Do you rememver what a trash they were before the first patch?
Killakans have true dmg and long shot. Eldars have reapers and now flying spectres, who can hit during moving(!). But las devs are:
1. The slowest unit
2. Have time of setting up and removing weapon before retreat.
3. Extremely vulnerable against all eldar and orc troops.
4. Melee forces eat them on breakfast(invisible banshee strike or trukk catapult).
Taking everything into account you propose to make them trash again.

Not so sure about that, considering last tournie and some Vindi's posts plus replays, but we'll see soon enough I guess...

As being said many times, AP deals too much damage to normal armor right now, Tankbusters, Wraithguards and Lascannons, all melt infantry real fast in numbers, so issue isn't with particular unit.

Looks like you haven't played as sm. Lasdevs are not antiinfantry.
They are the most vulnerable antivehicle unit in the game.

I would agree on you proposal if lasdevs didn't have setup time at all, like shadow spectres, and speed like tankbustas. Remember that this unit is very expensive. So the cost also should be the same, according to your logic.
Making all units similar will make no difference among factions and interest to play. Deal with it(c).
